selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
˟ The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
˟
Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:

Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.

excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel
in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
˟
Do not position your body in line with
and behind the rotating wheel.
When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
˟ When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch

complete stop. Never attempt to remove

wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback
may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action
to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
˟ Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
˟ Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
˟ Use extra caution when making a
“pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions
˟
Secure your workpiece with a clamping device. A
workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more secure than by hand.
˟
Always wait until the product has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
˟
Do not open the battery. Danger of shortcircuiting.
˟
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against

moisture. Danger of explosion.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
